The 21, X1, 10 and X45 etc all go to Eldon Square Bus Station where there is a dedicated drop-off stand and several layover bays - I’m not sure operators using Haymarket Bus Station have that same luxury.

Haymarket is heavily congested and whenever I pass through there seems to be a lot of Arriva buses dumped on stands.

As the buses are scheduled to arrive the same time as the previous one departs I could understand buses perhaps waiting for a minute or so in St Marys Place but they often wait for 4 or 5 minutes which implies either excessive early running or leaving the stand without a bus for several minutes.

Apart from the set down stand Y, stands R (Q3) and T (46) in Haymarket are often vacant having only 4 departures per hour.
